Before the days of electricity, the rushing rivers of the Teifi and its tributaries drove many waterwheels in the area and Llandysul was no exception. Whilst none still operate commercially, several buildings can be recognised as former mills.

Llandysul and Pont Tyweli are ideally situated for exploring the varied and beautiful counties of Ceredigion, Pembrokeshire, Carmarthenshire and the Brecon Beacons. They are almost equidistant from the larger towns of Cardigan, Carmarthen and Lampeter.

Whilst it is an excellent centre for walkers and cyclists, it also has an array of shops.
